[Verse 1]

We left town

On a bus bound

For the states

California babe

Warm air blue

Me to you

With each breath

'Til there's nothing left

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey you, hey you

I stay here

'Til we come to

[Verse 2]

We lost out

To the page

Of our first kiss

Now it's too late

How much time

Was undone

Can we get back

Where we started from

[Chorus]

I'll wait for you, by the lake

Don't be late, don't be late

I'll wait for you, by the lake

Don't be late, don't be late

[Bridge]

I know you'll know well

I know you sure could make it

But it's a shame to wait

'Til we're not afraid

Will you remember

When we are older

How we used to say

Time won't let us change

[Chorus]

I'll wait for you, by the lake

Don't be late, don't be late

I'll wait for you, by the lake

Don't be late, don't be late
